Luke - Jesus for Everyone - Message 10

STIGMA. That social and personal feeling of disgrace you feel from others or for yourself. Maybe you've been separated from your community or you've isolated yourself from others due to some belief that your actions, attitude, or circumstances have brought about situations that others no longer want to be around you. Or maybe you feel as though you can't be around others due to your own guilt and shame. What if there is a cure for this and there is restoration that works powerfully in the deepest place of who you are? What would it feel like to know that the sting of disgrace can be removed and replaced by the security of unconditional acceptance? What are the daily ramifications of living in the truth that God is for you and not against you? What does that reality look like and what are principles that help foster this sense of a restored identity?
